concept: short fic where sonic and rouge almost beef it somehow. specifics aren't important. shadow intervenes at the last second, and he's visibly seething as he makes a single, dangerous verbal threat to the enemy in an effort to avoid bloodshed. it does not work so he simply tears the fucker apart with a level of violence sonic and rouge have never seen from him before.
they're speechless when he comes to make sure they're alright — while probably also coated in enemy goo (is it blood? viscera? mysterious black ooze? you decide!) their silence immediately provokes concern from shadow, who lets his emotional wall down for just a second...
of course, he realizes sonic and rouge are fine when the first thing they say is "ooooo you do like us. you like-like us. you loooooove us. you want to maaaarry us~"
and shadow is extra annoyed because they're right. he does like-like them. god fucking damn it.
